Now you got two Pokemon of the same type!>Ability gets rid of kino Ground/Steel typing for a generic mono-type that it doesn't have any good STAB moves for>It does have Terrain Pulse to fix this issue, but this form of Stunfisk switches its higher special attack for higher physical attack!Why Gamefreak. Just why?
The only real use I can find for this ability is as a Rillaboom switch-in on a mono-Ground team.
Here's what I would do:
Ability 1: Iron Barbs
(this gives it a useful ability equivalent to Static)
Ability 2: Mimicry
(replace Limber with this on regular Stunfisk too)
Hidden Ability: Sand Veil
(same as vanilla, sure whatever)
I mean if you wanted to really buff this thing, give it Arena Trap because THEMATIC.
